This was terribly unclear. What I mean is that Amoeba and Jed's systems were
both weak on the authentication side. Assuming proper authentication,
neither was weak on the authorization side.

Likewise with web-keys. Assuming that all root CAs do their duties, web-keys
provide capability-like authorization.
